Increased scrutiny of data privacy practices also continues to drive a surge in private litigation actions against organisations, with claimants and defendants alike across Europe having learned hard lessons in the last couple of years about what actions and tactics courts are prepared to tolerate in data privacy claims.
Back in 2021 we ran our first global webinar on contentious data privacy, at a time when litigation arising out of GDPR was rapidly emerging but in most European jurisdictions remained in its infancy. Significant challenges to enforcement action were also still thin on the ground.
As we approach the 5th anniversary of the introduction of the GDPR, we are excited to invite you to a global webinar where our team of data privacy experts will provide you with an update on how regulatory enforcement challenges and GDPR-related civil litigation have fared since then.
In this global webinar, our data protection lawyers across our European network will compare and contrast developments in their jurisdictions and discuss what organisations can expect from the next 5 years of GDPR- related litigation. Our team will guide you through recent significant disputes in various European jurisdictions and offer insights into how this area of litigation is likely to develop further.

In this session, we will help you unpack the below key themes:
